Hala Laminor is a remarkable example of repurposed industrial heritage, located at 256 Basarabia Boulevard in Sector 3. Originally built in 1938 as part of the Malaxa factory complex, the structure is known for its monumental size (approximately 400 × 180 meters) and steel framework with a clerestory roof — a signature of modernist architect Horia Creangă.

What makes it truly unique

– Historical and architectural authenticity – One of the last remaining original steel halls from the interwar period, it has been carefully restored to preserve its industrial and architectural value.
– Massive space – total flexibility – Its vast interior allows for a wide range of events: auto and nautical exhibitions, urban festivals, trade shows, concerts, corporate galas, and food & hospitality events.
– Functional modernization – Renovated between 2017 and 2022, the hall now features modern infrastructure, energy efficiency, ample natural light through structural skylights, and over 1,300 parking spaces.
– Easy access – Conveniently located near the Republica metro station (M1 line), with tram and bus stops nearby, and direct road access from the A2 highway and Bucharest’s ring road — making it accessible to both local and international visitors.

Atmosphere & experience

The vast interior blends brutalist architecture with refined details — brick walls, massive beams, and generous daylight. It feels like a living structure, breathing creativity and endless potential. Events held here — from EDM concerts and tech expos to gourmet fairs and large-scale festivals — transform the hall into a dynamic urban hub full of energy and innovation.

Event culture

Recent events hosted include Winter Wonderland (Christmas fair), Energy Expo, FoodService & Hospitality Expo, Bucharest Nautical Show, and major music performances featuring artists like Black Coffee, Ty Dolla Sign, and Opeth. The space consistently proves its capacity to support complex, large-scale, and highly diverse events.
